So, that’s twice this week that I’ve slept for a solid 10 hours (Wed and last night). I’ll have you know that this was completely unheard of prior to my eye surgery. In the past, I had to work hard to even sleep for 9 hours.

Of course I had been noticing since the surgery that I required more sleep. I figured it was because my eye was still recovering. However, my eye “looks” fairly good right now so it’s harder to use my eye as an excuse but it seems to be the reason for the extra sleep.

This past week my schedule resulted in a couple of nights with only 6.5-7 hours of sleep. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem because it wasn’t even two nights in a row. But I caught 10 hours of sleep after that first short night and woke up slightly dizzy. I thought it might have been simply because I overslept.

Then I had another short night and woke up slightly dizzy again. Historically, when I wake up dizzy I’ve had eyestrain. I used to get that a lot when I was in school so I know the symptoms. Last night I was tired early so went to bed instead of fighting it and ended up sleeping those 10 hours! Wow!

Woke up feeling good but who has the time for 10 hours of sleep every night?! Okay, so I know one person who used to always sleep that long (and you know who you are!) but that’s hard on the schedule. Plus I’ve discovered I only can sleep that long if I go to bed abnormally early (for me) … otherwise my cat, Skeeter, wakes me up and I can’t sleep late in the morning.

So, I’m finally getting past the multiple doctor appointments each week and now I seem to need oodles of sleep. Hard to get any work done this way!
